Question to the Department for Education:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether they have investigated reports that China lobbied for the removal of references to Taiwan from material used in schools in connection with GCSE examinations.

Answered by Baroness Smith of Malvern - Minister of State (Education)

The content of textbooks is a matter for individual publishers. The department does not play a role in prescribing or authorising the books that schools can use. It is for schools to determine what curriculum resources they use, and to use their judgement in assessing their content.

Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology:

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, whether he plans to lead a semiconductor business delegation abroad.

Answered by Feryal Clark - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Science, Innovation and Technology)

Given the global nature of semiconductor supply chains, creating opportunities for businesses to establish international relationships is crucial for the UK’s growth. The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology works to make these connections. The National Technology Advisor, Dr Dave Smith, recently led the UK delegation to SEMICON Taiwan. This included representation from a Department for Business and Trade Mission and an Innovate UK Global Business Innovation Programme – both featuring UK semiconductor businesses. The Department will also work with the Department for Business and Trade ahead of the upcoming trade mission to India in November.

Question

To ask the Scottish Government, during the meeting with the Chinese ambassador in Bute House in August 2024, whether the First Minister raised the issue of reported threats from the Chinese consulate in Scotland to Scottish universities in relation to the City of Edinburgh Council entering into a friendship agreement with the city of Kaohsiung in Taiwan.

Answered by Robertson, Angus - Cabinet Secretary for Constitution, External Affairs and Culture

The Scottish Government take seriously reports of pressure being put on universities in relation to a proposed arrangement between the City of Edinburgh Council and Kaohsiung. The decision as to whether to enter a friendship arrangement with Kaohsiung is for the elected councillors from the City of Edinburgh Council. The Scottish Government continues to engage with the FCDO, who lead the relationship with the Embassy, on this issue to ensure appropriate action is taken.
